Winning in the Early Stages of Craft Spirits

Company Logo

Released By Applied Food Sciences, Inc.

While many beverage brands will succeed or fail within their first two years, whiskey will be slowly aging in barrels. To have success in craft spirits, a now nearly four-billiondollar industry, it is worth the wait. For up and coming Longtucky™ Spirits, the solution for this waiting game is to perfect the tasting room experience by creating a memorable environment and delicious, bright cocktails.

Community Crafted Tasting Room
 
“We are primarily a bourbon and rye distillery,” explains John Young, Co-Founder of Longtucky Spirits. “While it’s very exciting, our product is going straight into barrels and will be two years in the making. That’s why we put so much emphasis on our bar area where we showcase some of the other spirits we make here at Longtucky.”
 
For a small craft distillery, focusing on the tasting room is a smart move considering that it will account for an average of 40% of all sales v . Longtucky™ is raising the bar thanks to their prime location, in the heart of Boulder County, and their trendy tasting room.
 
Getting the most out of a tasting room means creating a memorable environment; Longtucky’s hand-welded copper countertops along with cocktails made with muddled herbs and fresh fruit to accent their vodka, gin, corn whiskey, and rum do just that.
 
Longtucky knows that early stage success will rely heavily on their unaged spirits. Therefore, the experience of the tasting room, quality of the cocktails, and overall presentation are essential.
